Abstract:

AutoManga is a game presentation system based on the idea of an interactive, animated film (with Japanese Manga-Style Anime Cel Animation as the animation model, and basis for most of the animation and character properties design). This makes a fairly complete cinematic language for communicating game events to the user. The input layer is based on a GUI front end to an interactive fiction style parser which allows for a rich interaction with the game.

AutoManga should also be useful for producing and displaying static (i.e. pre-scripted) animations.
